“So, what have you been up to Mikie??” Well, as usual, I like working on big projects, so I have been spending a lot of time thinking about how I could regenerate our provincial economy and by golly I think that I have a solution!! For a month now, I have been working on building a new smaller bridge across the brook that passes through the woodlot. Almost two years ago we had a large steel bridge installed that could handle a commercial harvest with heavy vehicles. This one is about a half-kilometre further downstream and will be just big enough to handle my personal tractors. In order to save money, I decided that the abutments could be done with rock and then use wood right off of the property to span the brook. So... by the bucket load, I started to collect rocks, big ones and small ones. I soon found that I had a limited opportunity for using the really big ones, especially during the early stages of construction. What I really wanted were “old man” sized flat rocks for building a nice smooth exterior wall along the stream. Never at a loss for an idea (often dumb), I grabbed an eight-pound maul, a concrete chisel and a tiny two-pound mini-maul. Since we have an abundance of fine sedimentary rock, I found that if Mother Nature hadn’t already created tiny fractures, that a couple of good swings of the maul (and only a couple) could often create manufactured fractures. A bit of chisel work into the

cracks and often within a few minutes I have flat “old man” sized rocks. I have noticed the NB government is often spending $15,000 per job created. My cost is $50 (maul, mini-maul and chisel). Score per $15,000: NB = 1 job, Mikie = 300 jobs. These jobs are well suited for our aging population (Mikie), long term, politicians and business leaders can proudly call the jobs sustainable (especially those dumb enough to refer to fracking and mining as sustainable), reduction of health care costs with all us old folks out beating on rocks, stress reduction and better mental heath (beating rocks instead of people)!! Now, every manufacturer needs customers. So I was thinking we could just lie and sell our rocks as pieces of our world famous Hopewell Rocks. Or we could of course sell them as “Pet Rocks” (what a scam that was)!! But, I am betting that China has just a ton of small streams that are just crying out for abutments and would be glad to get Made in Canada emblems on their rocks!! 0002

KOC COUNCIL 6595 DONATIONS In June, Father Eugene Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Leary Knights of Columbus Council 6595 presented Bobby's Hospice with a cheque for $5,000. Bobby's Hospice is a 10-bed palliative care facility in West Saint John. This presentation was our fourth bi-annual donation under a program initiated in 2014 where members make suggestions for groups or organizations they feel deserving. Our Trustees narrow these submissions down to a short list which is then voted on by the council. On June 6 our Council made our second donation of $ 2,500 to the "Fr. Eugene O'Leary Knights of Columbus Council 6595 Oncology Patient Support and Care Fund" at the SJ Regional Hospital. This nondiscretionary fund is used to help patients in financial need while they are attending appointments for treatment or being tested for cancer. It can be used to offset lost wages, transportation to and from the appointment, babysitting, etc. We are fortunate to be able to make these donations back to our community thanks to all of those that play our Thursday Night TV Bingo on

Rogers Community Channel 10. This is one of the many places the money goes; thank you! For more information on this program

contact any member of the Council or email: Columbiancharities@rogers. com. 4147

Sandy Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of Hospice presented with cheque by Kevin McDonald, Mike Gallant, Joe Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Leary and Grand Knight Bill Hartley. Also present: Brother Knight Elton Cassidy of and his wife Lois

Making the presentation on behalf of the Council at the Saint John Regional Hospital to Darren McLeod, Senior Philanthropy Specialist, are Grand Knight Bill Hartley, Cancer Committee Chair Don Roy and committee members Mike Gallant and Michael Clays.

AROUND & ABOUT NAMES NOT ON MAPS Where I grew up on Blue Rock Hill in Saint John West, there were all kinds of names for the features of the area that never appeared on any map. Blue Rock Hill was one, Sewer Hill another, Miller’s Hill a third. There was Limey Land, Nelly Jones Woods and Hattie Cassie’s wilderness where we roamed, played hide and seek, tried to find hidden treasure. We didn’t have any idea how they got the names they had, but we used the names to tell our parents where we were going, or where we had been when they asked. They knew exactly where we had travelled, as they had likely used the same monikers when they were young. Our whole province is laced with such localisms, and this summer, I, along with the folks at New River Beach, are sponsoring a writing contest in which we're asking people to submit a 500 word story on a strange name that they have encountered. Alan Rayburn’s book, Geographical Place Names of New Brunswick, or William B. Hamilton’s

Place Names of Atlantic Canada gives plenty of examples, and tells the real story of how places like Dead Man’s Cove, Dark Lake, Misery Mountain, Skedaddle Ridge, Mistake Point, Trousers Lake, St Nicholas Mount, and half a hundred more got named. What we're asking is for you to choose a name that intrigues you, that you find mystifying, and to make up a story and submit it to us via my e mail at: gosswalk@nbnet.nb.ca by August 15. For complete rules, e-mail me and ask for a flyer. There are categories for youth, both boys and girls, and either sex for teen, adult and seniors. In the next couple of weeks, you can also pick up a flyer on this competition at the Walks n Talks being offered. At 7:15pm on July 5, we’re exploring the Duck Cove area from Seawood School; on July 12 the Gondola Point area from St. Luke’s Church, and on July 19, there will be a Full Moon walk in Fernhill Cemetery at 8:30pm. At New River, there is a Ghost of John Walk at Barnaby Head

at 8:00pm on July 15. At Martello Tower, there is a Ghost Walk which features the Best Ghost Stories of Saint John West on Saturday night July 23. Full details of these events are available by asking for flyers at gosswalk@nbnet. nb.ca. By the last of these events, the Walks n’ Talks program will be more than half over for the summer, so don’t miss these opportunities, and do get busy with paper and pen, iPad, or whatever you write on, and get your submission in for the Strange Names Competition. Perhaps you’ll be inspired to write about the Devil’s Back, Gallow’s Hill, Bliss Island, or Gin Creek. 0004

SELF ESTEEM RELEASE YOURSELF FROM NEGATIVITY Ships do not sink because of the water that surrounds them; ships sink when the water gets into them. Likewise, we must not allow negative thoughts, situations and/or people to get inside of us and weigh us down. There is no one on earth that has the capability or power to control everything. The only thing each of us can control is our own attitude and reaction to our daily situations. Have faith in yourself. Faith is not about believing everything will turn out okay, faith is believing you will be okay no matter how things turn out. We see life as being full of negativity. However, it is also full of positivity, if we choose to see it. Unfortunately, it is extremely easy to dwell on the negative. We get down on ourselves. We believe that we don’t deserve to be happy. News flash: You were not put on this earth to live miserably day after day. You were wonderfully created to have fun and enjoy what life has to offer. To live as uniquely and happily as only you can, in

peace. Anything or anyone that costs you your peace is too expensive. Releasing yourself from negative thoughts, situations and people leads you to a new sense of freedom. There is no need to internalize guilt, shame and blame. We all do things we are not proud of. We can not continue wallowing in dirt and expect to get a clean slate. Let it go. Forgive yourself and others. Rid yourself of negative people by spending less and less time with them. People with a negative attitude do nothing but bring us down. Life is too short to spend it with negative-minded people. We need to surround ourselves with people who bring us up, believe in us and encourage us. At one time, you likely were excited about your life. Unfortunately, along the way, you have experienced failures, disappointments and setbacks. You lost your zest for life. It is time to reclaim it! Concentrate on the positive parts of your life. Sunrises, sunsets, family,

friends, road trips, chocolate etc. are just a few items there for your enjoyment. ‘Stop and smell the roses’ as they say. You will be amazed at how great you will feel both mentally and physically. There is only one place you can be at any given moment and that is in the present. Living for this moment (and this moment only) leaves no room to lament about the past or worry about the future. You know yourself better than anyone. You were made unique. There is no one exactly like you with the special gifts you have to offer this world. Celebrate being you. Being positive does not guarantee you will succeed but being negative guarantees you won’t. 0027

LIVE WELL

CHANGE YOUR LIFE BY CHANGING YOUR THINKING! Simply stated, how we think eventually leads to feelings which then lead to behaviors. For example, if I have angry thoughts that just keep playing like a repeating tape (also known as obsessing), eventually they will translate into angry, acting out behavior. We may think our thoughts are private and that no one knows what we are thinking, humans have the ability to interpret another’s mood, body language, and facial expressions. Think for a moment - have you ever gone into a room where there was an angry person and you knew they were angry, felt it even, before they said anything? They might even have denied being angry when asked, but anger is an energy, alive and pulsating. Spiderman referred to this as “spidy sense.” Changing our thinking means we need to look at our perceptions, those ideas, attitudes and beliefs that have been forming in us since childhood. Many of our perceptions are distorted and inaccurate, often the result of earlier, negative experiences that have become

entrenched. For example, if I grew up in an environment where emotional needs were not met, I may have developed a belief that I am unlovable. That belief then goes on to color my relationships, life choices, and self-esteem. If this erroneous belief becomes entrenched, I may conclude that when I am rejected, I am only getting what I deserve. Therapy can help individuals confront negative, self-defeating thoughts and behavior. Challenges to negative thinking by a therapist could include questions such as: “Just because he/she said it, does this make it true? How might it be a good thing that you did not get the job or promotion? Is there a way to see this situation differently?” One of my favorite sayings comes from the feminist movement and says: “Of all the opinions passed on us, the one that needs to matter the most is the one we have of ourselves!” Changing negative self-talk is an important technique in changing unhealthy behaviors and inappropriate emotional responses. Mark

Twain wrote: “My life has been filled with terrible misfortunes, most of which have never happened.” Anxiety Care UK reported that “Obsessive/compulsive disorder is now recognized as one of the most common causes of disability worldwide.” How can we stop negative ruminating? Picture a giant STOP sign every time you start thinking negatively. Another technique is to wear a rubber band that one snaps to interrupt the thinking. Relaxation techniques and meditation can help, as well as journaling, seeing a therapist, talking to your doctor to assess for medication. Changing negative thinking can change life, and for the better. 0008

IN THE GARDEN LITTLE EFFORT… BOUNTY OF BEAUTY He who plants a garden plants happiness.... Chinese proverb. Wandering through my garden, smelling fragrant Roses and Iris, anticipating the joys to come, I am sure the Chinese writer was right on target! So much beauty for so little effort is not so much a right as a huge blessing. To maintain this state of well being just a few delightful tasks need to be performed, namely deadheading. I love this time of year when the abundance of blooms requires a couple of hours just to remove spent blooms; two hours when I honestly give thanks for the bounty of beauty that has been my privilege to care for and enjoy! Deadheading is, I think, even more important than weeding; by removing spent blossoms the plant will go into overtime to produce more flowers, initial blooms on the Iris will tend to rot emerging blooms, especially under moist conditions and if they are gently snapped off, the’ bud in waiting’ will bloom magnificently. Many Roses will reward

one with continuous bloom if this simple task is done daily and those that are not of the re-blooming persuasion can be left to produce Rose hips, excellent for jelly making and fending away colds in winter; one tablespoon in hot water will do the trick! There are many Roses on the market that are absolutely hardy for our Zone, however, some will ramble vigorously all over the place, great for banks, but if your space is limited it is best to stick to the types that don’t put out runners; one of the hardiest and most beautiful is the Therese Bugnet, it has red stems, glorious deep pink blossoms and blooms from June until after frost, check with your garden centre before purchasing… digging up a rambler that has had its way with you is no fun!! I am aware that committed sun worshippers won’t want to read this, but we need a lot more rain and until the heavens provide it a more cautious attitude toward mowing is required; I

find it quite amusing, that most folk really hate to be told what to do, and yet when it comes to ‘lawns’, buy into the ‘grass gurus’ and spend untold hours trying for a single blade 3” carpet of vegetation, smooth as a billiard table and just about as exciting! My patch of green cover is a delightful mix of violets, wild strawberries, clover, forget me not and the like, from a distance it looks like lawn and I love it! Until the dry ground is well watered it is wise to raise the deck on the mower, the extra length of the grass will provide much needed shade for the roots and hopefully prevent the brown scorching that so often mars the perfection of the ‘ ideal lawn’. Enjoy the bounty. Blessings. 0045 Betty Kennett, Resident Green Thumb

GONE FISHING FISHING & PHOTOGRAPHY GO HAND IN HAND As we get further into the summer, more and more people are grabbing a rod and getting out to the water to try and catch their favourite fish, be it trout, bass, pickerel or one of the many others we have in our neighbourhood. If you are one of the many who enjoy this sport, then you know that every trip out, you are likely make cherished memories, and witness fantastic views of nature and local wildlife. Most people today make use of smartphones to capture pictures and indeed for several years I had been doing the same thing. A smartphone is something most of us have these days, and the cameras on them are pretty good. If all you want to do is share your pictures online, then your smartphone is a great tool to have on any fishing trip. However for a real quality photo that can be enlarged to frame for your home, a smartphone doesn’t quite cut it. In hopes of improving on my smartphone

photography, this past year I made perhaps one of my better investments in a long time in the purchase of a quality camera. Specifically with kayak fishing in mind, I opted for a rugged and waterproof Nikon model which cost over $1000. While expensive, the payback from this camera has been well worth it! While I am very much an amateur when it comes to photography, the pictures I have been able to capture of my kids, friends, clients and of nature are incomparable to those which I could have taken with my phone. Of course with a quality camera, there comes the added burden of carrying more equipment, the need to keep the lenses clean, and then the work needed to deal with the pictures on a computer when you get home. You may need multiple lenses, filters, a lens cleaning kit, a spare battery, and if you get more seriously into the hobby, perhaps even other equipment. While daunting, for me it has been definitely worth the effort. Already

I have three of my pictures enlarged and framed in my home, and have several others I am considering doing the same with. Especially for parents who enjoy taking their kids out for a fishing trip consider bringing a good camera along to capture the memories. In addition to what could be a priceless picture of your kids fishing, you may spot an eagle, moose or even a family of baby ducks and be able to get a great nature shot! If you are like me and enjoy catch and release fishing, instead of coming home with a fish for the dinner table, you’ll be hoping to bring up a picture for the wall! 0034

WORLD HEPATITIS DAY AWARENESS July 28 is World Hepatitis Day. This year Waterloo Village in partnership with AID’s Saint John, RECAP and Public Health is hosting a community barbecue to help raise public awareness of viral Hepatitis such as Hepatitis B and C. The event will be held at the Corner of Waterloo and Cliff Street with interactive displays from 11:00am to 1:00pm. All are welcome to attend. Viral hepatitis affects more than half a million Canadians and in New Brunswick it is the most common reportable blood borne infection. Many Canadians are unaware that they have hepatitis and unknowingly spread the virus to other people. A vaccine is available to prevent hepatitis B. Although injection drug use is considered to be a higher risk activity for acquiring Hepatitis, there are other ways people may be exposed to the virus and not even know it. Unsterile equipment used during tattooing/piercing and/or medical procedures pose varying degrees of risk. To decrease your risk avoid sharing personal hygiene items such as

razors, toothbrushes and nail clippers. Using a condom for sex, never share drug equipment, covering cuts, and wearing gloves to clean blood spills are important prevention measures. There is a new medication on the market called Harvoni which is a promising new treatment for those infected with Hepatitis C. The earlier Hepatitis C is detected the sooner it can be treated and the greater the likelihood of recovery. We are urging everyone to learn about the risk factors of hepatitis B and C and to consider getting tested. For more information go to” whdcanada. org7. 4145

In September of 2011, Kingston Peninsula Heritage organized the commemoration of the 400th anniversary of the first European settlement in what is New Brunswick today. This fur trading post was located on Akmenhenik (Caton's Island) on the Wolastoq (St. John River). It was startling to realize how few people are aware of this early French foothold. The settlement was significant, being the location of the first lasting contact between the Wolastoqiyik, the indigenous people whose lands included the complete Wolastoq watershed, and the French of Europe. The arrival of Europeans had a massive impact on the Wolastoqiyik, which has been felt through all the generations since. This island, Akmenhenik, truly New Brunswick’s lodestone, is not only the meeting place of the provinces two founding cultures, but it also points a bearing to a future we would all value. As it turns out, the first leader of the trading post was rebellious, walking a fine line between troubles with the French authorities of La Cadie and the Grand Council of the Wolastoqiyik. This novel, set during the period of first contact, portrays life for both the Wolastoqiyik and the French fur traders, and the result of their meeting on two individuals and their communities. To order books please contact Eric at: reacher@nbnet.nb.ca. Proceeds of the books sold here are going to Kingston Peninsula Heritage. 4144

ASK THE CHEF STRAWBERRY SEASON Colin Sifton here from Holly’s restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. With the discovery about rhubarb coming from so far away in my last article, it made me think about the next popular fruit that we grow around here, which is strawberries. That is right, it is strawberry season in New Brunswick again and it is one of my favourite local produce. We spend the whole year eating gas ripened berries from the States and for a few weeks a year we get the real thing. Strawberries can be found all the way back to the Roman times, but they would have been what we call wild strawberries. In the court of King Henry VIII, we began seeing all kinds of cultivated strawberries which were served with cream. A popular dish still eaten today. Because of the popularity in King Henry VII’s time, more and more strawberry farms started popping up all over England. It wasn’t until the 18th century that France began growing gardens of just strawberries and creating that we think of as strawberries. Strawberries are grown all around the world. They are probably the world's most popular berry. So why is that? It is most likely because they have so many uses. From jams and jellies to pies and tarts. We eat them right off the plant or cut them up and have them with cream like they did in King Henry’s day. So, one way that most people never think about having strawberries is with cracked black pepper. That’s right black

pepper. I first discovered this when making some flambeed strawberries at a resort in the Canadian Rockies. I don’t know why it changes the flavour as much as it does but it is a great change to just having strawberries. I am not talking about putting teaspoons of cracked pepper on the strawberries but just a few cranks of the mill. The recipe I use when flambeing strawberries goes like this: 2 cups sliced strawberries; 1/4 cup butter; 1/2 cup brown sugar; 2 ounces Grand Marnier; Black pepper to taste. In a hot sauce pan, add your butter and sugar. Stir together until sugar has dissolved and the two are well combined. Add your strawberries and stir until they are covered. Add Grand Marnier and hit it with some fire so it ignites. Once the flame burns out, add a few cranks of the pepper mill. Serve over vanilla ice-cream and garnish with a few chopped strawberries for texture. Be careful as melted sugar of any kind is very very hot, but once it hits the icecream it will turn to taffy. 0040

Ask a Trustee in Bankruptcy Q. If I file for bankruptcy who will know?

Your bankruptcy will not be publicized unless it is one where there are significant assets. A bankruptcy proceeding is a matter of public record, which means that it is not a “secret” and anyone who needs to know is entitled to be advised. The notices of bankruptcy that you occasionally see in the newspaper are either corporate or large personal bankruptcies, which are not common. In order for you to file for bankruptcy, the Trustee must send your bankruptcy papers to the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy, which is a division of Industry Canada and part of the federal government. Shortly after you file for bankruptcy, the Trustee will notify your creditors. The Credit Bureaus and Canada Revenue Agency are also notified. Other than that no one else is notified, normally. Your family and friends are not involved and should not become aware of your bankruptcy unless you Bonnie K. A. Bryan, CIRP choose to tell Vice- President, Licensed Insolvency Trustee them yourself.

FAMILY MATTERS NAVIGATING AROUND SOCIAL CONFLICT Social conflict is real. It exists in the sandbox, on the playground and in school. As parents, when we hear about it we can quickly fall into “helicopter” mode but that might not be the appropriate response. As long as it does not escalate to bullying, conflict is normal and a part of engaging in social life. Everyday our kids have a variety of opportunities for navigating peer and/or sibling dynamics. They will often share their problems with us looking for a parental response. Our role is to support them while allowing them to develop fundamental social and communication skills that can move them from a place of anger or disappointment to empowerment. There are some general things parents can do to assist their children when navigating around disagreements: 1. Listen. Listen deeply to the story of unfairness and hurt by asking “can you tell me more about that?” to help your child explore the full experience.

2. Be Arms Length Curious. Ask “what and how” questions to hold space for your child to consider all parts of the experience. 3. Invite Other Perspectives. Ask your kiddo to look at the situation through the eyes of everyone. This develops skills for seeing multiple perspectives. 4. Making a Decision. By inviting other perspectives and being curious, parents can help their children to identify and clarify what they want to do. Do they want to compromise? Is it a non-negotiable point of interest? 5. Developing the Language. It pays off to take the time to think about what we want to say to people in times of disagreement. Help your children come up with the words and language to express their feelings and their wants so they are much more empowered to use it. 6. Be Available for Practicing. This could be the most important piece for your kiddos. Give them the opportunity to practice what they are going to say

before any tough conversation. Take turns playing different roles using different options and imagine possible responses. Practice as many times as needed to build confidence. Role playing can offer children a feeling of familiarity and comfort amidst the discomfort of difference. This summer look for opportunities to help your children develop their interpersonal skills and enjoy the parenting journey - even in times of social conflict. 0006

MUSINGS WE’RE ON IT... As I write this we are getting regular updates from Canada Post that there may be a postal strike in early July. Since our 40,000 plus magazines are delivered by Canada Post, this is a wee bit of a problem! However, if it does happen it won’t be our first postal disruption so we are prepared for the possibility of another. You will have seen our half page ad earlier in this magazine alerting you to some locations where you will be able to pick up a copy of your community magazine should there be a strike or lockout at Canada Post. We will be updating this list on our Facebook page as new locations are identified. And of course, you can always read all of our community magazines online at

our website, current and past issues. I am not going to come down on one side or the other when it comes to unions and labour disputes. I have been both union member/union executive and small business owner so can understand both sides of the equation. Yes, as a small business owner it does create some headaches, but I am confident we will weather it in spite of some inconvenience. I am constantly impressed at the loyalty and support we receive from our readers and advertisers and the 2011 postal distribution underlined that for me. What an amazing bunch of people we deal with on a daily basis. That is certainly one of the big pluses of this business.

As Michael Jordan once said, “Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” We are well on the way to our work-around if it is needed. 0001
